Overview

Introduction

Ambergris Caye (often just called San Pedro, after its only town) is one of the most-visited areas of Belize. Located only 35 mi/55 km northeast of Belize City, its resident population of nearly 10,000 expands with tourists, part-time expats and construction workers building new hotels and vacation condos. It has more than 150 resorts, hotels and "condotels" (small low-rise condo developments managed like hotels).

Ambergris is a very informal island (shoes are optional everywhere), and you should go prepared to relax. San Pedro offers some of the best, most varied restaurants in the country. At night, live music and hard drinking can be found in the island's bars and clubs.
